When I entered the trade in phone (iphone 5c) it gave me $0 value rather than the $799 on Tlife. But when I continued to the checkout page, the Any condition promo was applied! 
:
So I was able to get this promo on Costco having multiple EIPs on a line plus free buds. Good deal! |

I have Simple Choice NA and I was having the same issue where t-life was giving me the promo and going through Costco wouldn't. What I did was add the phone with trade-in promo and buds to my cart through t-life and then just check out through the Costco link. Cart will show the promo and waived connection fee. If anybody else is having this issue hope it helps.

Is it really any trade-in?
Ad says any trade-in. However, fine print has a list of acceptable trade-in models. Don't know which is right. At the current moment, only the trade-ins listed in the fine print are accepted online. No reports if things are different going through an agent.

@ouloat this thread is full of confusion about the "any phone" part since the fine print has a list of eligible phones. I for one was trying to trade in a G8 Thinq but only the V60 Thinq is eligible. Disappointing since they're both flagship phones from approximately the same era. This should really be in the first page:
:
I ended up finding an old S6 Edge with water damage in my electronics recycling bin, but was still functional enough to turn on while plugged in to obtain IMEI. I tried on three of my free lines. The ones with promo code ID210004 and ID220005 did not allow me to use the 'any condition' promo, but free line ID200008 did work. I selected water damage on the condition, and it still gave me the full credit amount. Also can confirm it stacked successfully with the free pixel ear buds promo |

Weird - it says eligible but then the plan does not have SC

Tip for getting multiple Pixel Buds 2a
|
Quote
from rwong48
Thanks for posting this. I could only get 1 buds discount in an order of 4. Trying to check out once (with 4 phones and 1 buds) failed for reasons I could not understand.
:
I ended up clicking a lot and ordering them all separately, but got stopped for verification after entering the same credit card number on another order. So I used 4 credit cards and 4 orders of 1 phone each, and was able to get free buds on every order. $90 tax for $100 costco GC, Pixel 10, and Pixel Buds 2a, is insane. Now multiply that by 4. I also discovered that the list of promotions might exclude the device connection fee while still having a $0 device connection fee and still showing the $100 Costco gift card. I connected Costco once and then logged in to T-Mobile repeatedly (desktop) while constantly timing out. Everything looked OK (I took screenshots of everything), but for others, it might help to click through from Costco every single time you try to check out. There was also a separate TMobile+Costco order confirmation that I only got for 2 of my 4 orders. |

Good:
Costco members can get their $100 upgrade gc, $35 connection fee waived, and 90 day return policy through online orders. No more waiting at the kiosk, no more hard upsells, no more calling the help desk. Order online at your convenience. Must start the order through the upgrade button on the Costco T-mobile page [costco.com]. If your trade-in IMEI is not accepted by the online system, you will have to call in or visit the kiosk where they can override the system.
Read the wiki, some SDers got the Costco link to work by either bruteforcing it to the end or adding the items in T-Life cart then switching to Costco to finish.
Bad:
Certain free lines no longer qualify for upgrade promos. Previously, all lines allowed upgrade promos, but no longer. You will have to check line by line to see which allows upgrading (the system will warn you if the line does not qualify). You can still stack upgrade EIP / promos on the same line then use the phone on a different line.
Community Reviews
This Pixel 10 upgrade promo is mainly a targeted T Mobile trade in deal that can make the phone, and sometimes Pixel Buds 2a, nearly free on qualifying lines. Costco ordering can waive the $35 connection fee and add a $100 shop card, while T Life often shows the offer when the website does not. The catch is that eligibility is picky, with some legacy, free, prepaid, or Advantage lines not qualifying, and the trade in tool may reject certain phones despite the any condition wording. Early payoff can forfeit remaining credits, so the best value comes from keeping the line active through the full credit period.
Simple Choice customers with a cracked or dead trade-in phone, because the promo can still apply and broken devices have qualified at checkout.
Costco members who want to avoid the upgrade fee, because ordering through the Costco link can waive the $35 charge and add a $100 shop card.
Shoppers with older eligible Android or iPhone trade-ins, because the promo has worked with devices like A53, A71, S6 Edge, iPhone 6, and OnePlus 9.
People keeping a T-Mobile line for two years, because the bill credits continue over 24 months and early payoff forfeits the remaining credits.
Buyers expecting any old phone to qualify, because several trade-ins were rejected or only certain listed models triggered the credit.
People on legacy or prepaid plans, because multiple older plans and prepaid lines did not show the offer or only showed smaller credits.
Shoppers who need the deal to stay at $0 after checkout, because some carts later showed monthly charges, missing credits, or a plan-change prompt.
People who want to unlock the phone quickly or use GrapheneOS, because the Pixel 10 is bootloader locked on T-Mobile and unlocking can require paying off the device and waiting.

Should I just simply place a new order on my phone using the Costco link instead? Also, does it matter whether the Costco account name matches the T-Mobile account for the upgraded line? My wife and I are both on the same linked Costco account but with different account numbers. I'm the T-Mobile account holder, but my wife's phone is the one being upgraded.
Edit: Now I went back to check the browser where I placed the order on my computer, and I do see a small Costco logo on the T-Mobile page. However, I'm 100% sure I did not use the Costco link on my computer. Strange.
"To qualify for the damaged device promotion, it must have been active with T-Mobile for at least 60 days in the past year."
I was going to trade in an iphone 6 with screen issue at the bottom. While it shows $799.99 promo, most likely they will remove the promo as it has not been on T-Mobile in the last year, it's been in a drawer.
So I'd then be stuck with a full price 128gb Pixel 10.

Costco members ordering through Costco link get 90 days return policy, which is more than enough time to see if the promotion sticks or not.
Though it does state the 60 day requirement on Costco.

According to this reddit post [reddit.com], the 60 day rule has been in place since at least 8 months now. However, my and other SDers broken trade-ins in the previous Pixel deal (link in the OP) have never been on T-mobile. Mine was purchased broken for $10 - $20, still locked to Verizon. Got all my promos for 3 months now. If T-mobile had declined my promos, I would have just returned the pixels with my Costco 90 day return policy.
"... on an eligible rate plan" is stated in the actual promo.
Pretty sure they don't give recurring bill credit promos on prepaid plans regardless.
